Q-Time with Astrophysicist Dr. Alfredo Carpineti

Q-Time with Astrophysicist Dr Alfredo Carpineti

A chance to join us online to hear Dr Carpinetti talk.

Queer joy meets cosmic wonder. Join us for an afternoon with astrophysicist, author, and proud Queer science icon Dr Alfredo Carpineti - because the universe has always had room for us, even when the textbooks didn’t.

Alfredo will be talking about his book Invisible Rainbows, exploring the hidden LGBTQ+ history woven through the story of science - and taking your questions on everything from black holes to being out in academia.

Come curious, come with questions, come as you are.

This is an online event.
